i figured i'd push myself to the 1300 mark before i went to bed... this is a fuckin' awesome record... came out in 2002 on City Centre Offices (home to stuff like Arovane, Ulrich Schnauss, Christian Kleine, etc.)... beautiful dark downtempo... the whole album gots a sexy post-trip-hop vibe like that song "My Angel Rocks Back and Forth" by Four Tet... it makes for perfect listening late at night... my fantasy is to play it at some artsy, low-lit after-hours bar, where you can see the bass bins push smoke across the room... -please check it out if you haven't |

i sense that someone online right now will check this out because they like downtempo, and are looking for something new *bump* |

i am going to check this tonight. that four tet song is one of my fav's on 'rounds' so i'm excited about this :) |

WHOOO! (it's actually probably a bit more minimal... but i think it's great...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn, that's too bad. minimal isn't exactly my thing, lately. ah, i'll still check it. *fires up soulseek* |
||||||||
|

|
|
it's all about the vibe man! the vibe! this isn't academic minimalism we're talkin' about here... just a real blunted downtempo vibe with dark-type guitars... another point of reference might be something like the dark guitar lines on Massive Attack's Mezzanine |

i would... but actually i don't have it on the computer... i have the vinyl... i could try and rip my burnt copy... but it's in pretty rough shape... i'll let you know if i can... otherwise... just throw it on your wishlist... it'll be found eventually, with slsk it's all about persistence... |
||||||||

|
that's cool, thanks man. wher'd you grab the vinyl? i was in at blackbyrd, and they got a nice shipment of stuff in, but all the other stuff i wanted to buy was sold :( |

Listen my friend... Listen... in fact i think he may still have a copy of it on CD... -fans of Susumu Yokota also might like this release ...and i'd just like to clarify that i am fully aware that this thread makes me look very very pathetic and obnoxious... |

there's theirs "filet" (7 tunes on this one) on soulseek - is this simillar to "time is a good thing"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
had it - didnt like it and sold it |
||||||||
|
|

that's the only way you can actually make someone on this site to check some less known artist...i have tried many times :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, i've never heard that one... i probably should... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wish i lived closer to Listen. and DV8 too (i dunno how good this one is). i really have no way to get there except bus. and i dunno the routes for that part of town :( |
||||||||
|
|

yeah, it's just a bit out of the way unfortunately... he's been thinking of moving closer to downtown... but probably won't happen for a while... there are quite a few buses that will get you there... basically from jasper ave (close to the lrt...) you can take either the 5 or the 135 to westmount, and it will pass by... the 3 and the 7 also run past it... Dv8 is pretty much just a club techno-type store...probably has some interesting singles... but not really the place to go in search of albums... Sound Connection is very close to dv8 and it has tonnes of cool old rock and stuff... |

if you know where southgate is (i'd be surprised if you didn't), which buses go from there to around Listen? or from west ed, if that would be easier, but it's a little bit harder for me to get to w.e.m. if you could help me out a bit, i'd appreciate it so much, since i can never understand the damn bus schedules :P even from the u of a station, if that is possible :) i know listen is worth the trip! |

from the u of a station... take the train to corona... exit the train station through one of the jasper ave westbound entrances (one will put you outside next to a boston pizza (on the same side of the street), in front of a parking lot... the other entrance will put you in front of a food joint (donairs? pizza?)... take either the 135 or the 5 (both buses will say westmount as destination), and these buses will drive down jasper, take a right at 124th street... and then you get off just before you pass 107th ave... you can pull the cord to get off when you see an Albert's restaurant on the other side of the street... listen is right on the corner of 124th and 107th... talk with the owner, he is nice... |

i just gave this a first listen and some tunes really sound like slow-downed mezzanine tunes (no vocals tho), and it sounds much more electronica to mezzanine, which is also nice. actually it reminds me a bit of balago who are one of my favourite "experimental" post rock, guitar+electronica bands. nice album, and i only heard it for the 1st time :) |

"Paraport" is the album of the week on Boomkat. Very good. CCO is my favourite label atm. |
